Due to the vagaries of local politics two Republicans are on the ballot in the special election in NY-23. Doug Hoffman, the conservative, clearly represents the main stream values and positions of the Republican Party. He opposes the stimulus, cap and trade, card check, the Democratic health care bill and the Obama Administration’s reckless spending binge. He is a pro-life fiscal conservative who is committed to restraining the growth of government. And Hoffman is committed to fighting and winning the war in Afghanistan.

Doug Hoffman is right on the critical issues facing America — and he is the only Republican who can win this special election. For those reasons I have chosen to endorse Mr. Hoffman and my leadership PAC has contributed to his campaign. I look forward to working with Doug in Congress and welcoming him into the Republican Conference.

Cole Co-Sponsors Legislation to Halt ACORN’s Federal Funding

 WASHINGTON – Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04) recently co-sponsored the “Defund ACORN Act.” This legislation calls for the federal government to cut financial ties with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). Cole has consistently condemned the housing association’s abuses and wants the federal government to stop sending taxpayer dollars to ACORN and its affiliates.

 ”It defies common sense and common decency that an organization like ACORN receives any federal funding,” Congressman Cole said. “The numerous incidents of voter registration fraud should have been enough to stop funding this criminal enterprise, but the recent video tape of ACORN employees making suggestions to a couple as to how they could better conceal and profit from an underage prostitution ring is simply too much. Federal funding for ACORN must stop immediately and permanently.”

Cole Co-Sponsors Czar Accountability Act

Congressman Calls for More Accountability in Presidential Appointments

 

WASHINGTON – Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04) recently cosponsored legislation calling for more transparency in Presidential appointments. Specifically, Cole cosponsored H.R. 3226, the “Czar Accountability and Reform Act of 2009,” introduced by Representative Jack Kingston (GA-01). If passed, funding will be withheld from any task force, council, or czar that is not confirmed by the Senate.

 

“The President has appointed dozens of czars since coming into office,” Congressman Cole said. “The words ‘advice and consent of the Senate’ from Article II, Section 2 of our Constitution should not be taken lightly. But the vast majority of these individuals have not undergone Senate hearings and confirmation. Despite this fact, they have been given considerable salaries, staff, and budgets for travel and office expenses. This duplicative government is wasteful, unaccountable and should be brought to an end.”
